After Liu Xia finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door. (You can find this site by remembering this site for the fastest update speed)
When the matter has reached this point, it is crucial to kill Song Qingming or not.
After all, he is the chief envoy, the feudal official of Wuzhou, and he is born into a noble family in Wuzhou. Keeping him here will play a big role in Wuzhou's current stability.
Secondly, he is an important chess piece of Tuoba Lingyun. Keep it and he will be a witness.[
As soon as Liu Xia went out, all the officials behind him filed out and hurriedly followed Liu Xia.
The porridge shop is located in the square outside the county government office, only more than thirty meters away from the county government office. Even so, I am afraid that most of these officials have never been here.
When Liu Xia arrived at the porridge market, there were more than thirty porridge pots in the porridge market, and the steam was steaming.
The official in charge of the porridge market is a councilor.
The Counselor is an official position under the Chief Secretary, located under the Political Participation. It starts from the fourth rank, and the number of people is generally determined by the busy situation of local official affairs.
It is divided into different responsibilities such as supervising grain road, supervising registration road, and dividing and guarding road.
The counselor in charge of the porridge was named Huang Yuan, and he was born into the Dihuang family.
Huang Yuan was waiting in the county government office early this morning to be promoted to court. When he suddenly heard that Liu Xia was going to the porridge shop, he was so frightened that there was no trace of blood on his face.
At this moment, I could only follow Liu Xia cautiously into the porridge shop.
Liu Xia's sudden arrival made the guards in charge of the porridge suddenly agitated, and they hurriedly pretended to maintain order. In an instant, the noisy noise in the porridge became much quieter.
Currently, there are less than seven to eight hundred refugees in Qiu County, queuing up in an orderly manner, waiting for relief.
"Master Song, I wonder which official is in charge of the porridge market?"
When Liu Xia arrived at the porridge shop and saw an orderly scene, he couldn't help but nodded and asked.
"My lord, I'm going to consult Mr. Huang of Huangyuan."
Song Qingming said hurriedly and respectfully.
"Oh, who is Mr. Huang? Come out and let the king have a look."
Liu Xia smiled slightly.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties who was slightly fat, not very tall, and looked very honest, hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Huang Yuan, see the prince."
"Well, this porridge restaurant is well-run, and it has lived up to the king's expectations for you. I believe that none of you have eaten, so you will use some here today, and you can feel the suffering of the local people."[
Liu Xia nodded and praised.
"What the prince said is that as officials of the imperial court, we should naturally share the joys and sorrows with the people."
Song Qingming hurriedly clasped his fists and laughed.
"Well, very good, Mr. Huang, please order someone to fill the porridge pot. Your Excellencies and I will have a meal here today."
Liu Xia smiled.
At this moment, Huang Yuan was kneeling on the ground, shaking all over. The sweat on his forehead made the ground in front of him wet.
"My lord, my lord, I'm afraid these simple meals are not to your liking. Why don't you order me to make some again..."
Huang Yuan said tremblingly, but before he could finish speaking, Liu Xia smiled and said, "Master Song just said that he would share the joys and sorrows with the people. Go quickly."
Huang Yuan was completely dumbfounded this time.
Song Qingming looked at Huang Yuan's appearance and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, knowing that something might be wrong.
Seeing Huang Yuan kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I can just stay here. As a prince, you might as well go somewhere else to use some."
"No need, three obstacles and four, is the king the kind of person who can't bear hardships? Dabao, go and serve the rice."
Liu Xia frowned and said.
Dabao didn't hesitate. He walked straight out of the crowd and walked to the side of the porridge pot. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Majesty, come and see."
Dabao said hurriedly.
Liu Xia walked over in three steps and two steps at a time. At this moment, the officials who were following Liu Xia also walked over.
As a result, they all froze there, with their heads lowered, not daring to take a big breath.
Because, in the large pot with a diameter of 1.5 meters, the porridge can reflect the figures of people.
Liu Xia snatched the shovel from the master in charge of the ladle and took a shovel out of the pot, but he didn't get even a grain of rice.
This is no different from boiling water.
"bump!"[
Liu Xia threw the spatula straight to the ground, stood there with his hands behind his back and a livid face, slowly turned back, looked at the officials behind him, and looked at them one by one.
The officials were all trembling with fear, and all of them were extremely nervous.
"Sir Song, as far as I know, although Wuzhou is not a land of plenty, its grain output is not the lowest in the dynasty. May I ask, is Wuzhou's food shortage already at this point?"
Liu Xia asked suppressing her anger.
Song Qingming knelt down on the ground with a pop and said: "My lord, please forgive me. I am under investigation because of my negligence."
"Haha, hahahaha. You are quite good. Huang Yuan, please explain to Wang what is going on?"
Liu Xia sneered twice and asked Huang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates should deserve to die. Your subordinates should deserve to die."
Huang Yuan knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. He knew that this Liu Xia, despite his young age, was extremely vicious.
"You really deserve to die. Killing you is not enough for the people to be angry. Liu Liansheng!"
Liu Xia drank.
"My subordinate is here!"
"Capture Huangyuan, torture me severely, and capture all the criminals without leaving a trace."
"promise!"
Liu Liansheng dragged Huang Yuan down without saying a word.
Liu Xia turned back and looked at Song Qingming who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Master Song, gather all the officials above the sixth rank here. Today the king wants to see how majestic your officials in Wuzhou are."
Song Qingming didn't dare to say more, so he stood up quickly and whispered a few words to the entourage behind him.
Song Qingming's chief envoy from Wuzhou came here and brought many officials. In addition to the newly appointed and temporary agents in the past few days, more than 200 people gathered in the square in a short time.
Liu Xia sat on one side of the square with a golden sword, looking at the officials kneeling below, silent.
"Master Song, who is your official in charge of order in the porridge restaurant?"
Liu Xia asked calmly.
"Yes, it's Zhao Youting of the Hundred Households."
"Let him come to me."
Liu Xia said.
At this time, from the crowd guarding one side, a hundred households came out in a hurry. This hundred households were the beasts who made fun of the old man yesterday.
When Liu Xia saw him, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Zhao Baihu, the king wants to ask you, do you know the rules of the imperial court's porridge relief?"
Liu Xia asked while holding back her anger.
"Go back to your lord, the last general, the last general will know."
"Well, it seems you don't know. Then the king will ask you again, if you know the situation in the porridge shop, why don't you report it?"
Liu Xia asked again.
"This, this..."
Zhao Youting didn't know what to say at this moment.
"You can't tell, right? The king will tell you for you, because you and Huang Yuangen are in cahoots and collude with each other!"
Liu Xia stood up and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I was not involved in this matter. I think words are too light to speak and I dare not say more."
Zhao Youting shouted hurriedly.
"Hahahaha, what a person who speaks so softly. How can a person make these poor homeless people bark like dogs in broad daylight? Are you going to let the fucking dogs eat your conscience?"
Liu Xiazhong went over and put his foot on Zhao Youting's body. He immediately kicked Zhao Youting away seven or eight meters and threw him into the distance.
When Liu Xia said these words, Song Qingming knew that Liu Xia had planned this in advance and the evidence was conclusive. No one dared to save him today, so it was best to protect himself wisely.
The other officials all knelt there with their heads lowered and did not dare to say anything.
"Come here, Zhao Youting will be executed in Ling Chi. Three thousand six hundred knives, not a single knives less."
Liu Xia drank in anger.
"promise!"
At that moment, two imperial guards dragged Zhao Youting down, who was vomiting blood on one side.
"Liu Hongtao! Where are the rules?"
Liu Xia said angrily.
"Your Majesty ordered."
At that moment, Liu Hongtao raised his head and said.
"Drag all the soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the porridge and give each of them five hundred military sticks."
Liu Xia said angrily.
Liu Hongtao still dared to talk nonsense, so he immediately ordered his personal guards to mobilize more troops. A moment later, less than 300 soldiers guarding the porridge on the edge of the square were tied to the ground and executed with water and fire sticks.
The soldiers, those with bows on the left and right, began to shoot.
At that moment, screams were heard one after another in the square.
"Hit me harder."
When Liu Xia saw the strength of those soldiers, he drank immediately.
Liu Hongtao hurriedly walked over, grabbed a water and fire stick, and hit a soldier hard, breaking the soldier's legs immediately.
At this time, the frightened officials kneeling in the square were like sieving chaff.
Screams were heard one after another in Guangcheng, but on the other side of the square, an iron pillar was erected.
Lingchi is an extremely cruel torture. The executioner absolutely needs good skills. He uses a knife to cut off the flesh of the person's body piece by piece. It takes more than 3,600 cuts to let the person die.
It already belongs to the cruel level of torture.
At this moment, Zhao Youting was naked, tied to a pillar, and trembling.
It stands to reason that his crime would not lead to death, and even if he died, he would not be subjected to such torture.
However, without killing him, how can we rectify this trend of corruption in Wuzhou official circles?
Normally, Liu Xia would have just turned a blind eye, but in this special case, it can only be said that Zhao Youting hit the muzzle of the gun.
When the executioner was about to execute the execution, Liu Xia shouted: "Wait a minute."
Everyone thought that Liu Xia calmed down and stopped killing him.
As a result, Liu Xia took out two pills and handed them to Liu Liansheng and said: "Give him these two pills to take. One of them can increase the pain he endures a hundred times. The other one is a top-grade God-Guarding Pill."
, the king wants him to clearly feel the pain of every knife. The people here have become so poor, and they still dare to be so presumptuous, especially under the king's nose. Doesn't the insulting king have eyes?
"
When the officials heard this, their hearts were pounding.
So, the long torture began.
The executioner usually cuts off the person's eyelids first so that he can see the real process of torture with his eyes open. After the executioner made the first blow, Zhao Youting collapsed.
In the square at this moment, screams were heard one after another, and the livers of the officials listening were shaking all the time.
